User Comments: I enjoyed the course. Some of the material is confusing and hard to find the answers. I suggest that the correct answer should be shown at the test results for the ones that were missed. I was clueless to the correct answers to the ones I missed.

Thank you!

User Comments: Too long and not exactly up to date. Able to answer exam questions as I read the book but there were some diagrams and facts that were not necessary. I am personally not a fan of some of the extra information but that's my opinion. For the most part the information was informative and useful but there was just too much of it. I would recommend the course to someone more interested in the topic though.
